If you’re at all familiar with Anthony Bourdain, you’ll know what you’re in for when you crack open this book. Biting humor, liberal cursing, and some of the most eloquent food porn I’ve ever read. I haven’t checked out any of his other books yet, so I was going in based on the public persona I’ve seen from TV (The Taste is my show, y’all.). I wasn’t surprised in the least that I loved and devoured this book. I’m never going to be anywhere need […]

The Rare Occasion When the Movie Is Better

July 10, 2014 by ModernLove Leave a Comment

I adore Mike Birbiglia. I think he’s hilarious, to the point where when I heard he was a panelist on an episode of Wait, Wait, Don’t Tell Me…I almost ran my car off the road with glee. I watched Sleepwalk With Me on Netflix a few months back, and I really enjoyed it. When I got the chance to said book it was based on, I was psyched. I was looking forward to a more detailed, interesting journey into this mans mind and what I ended up […]

my mom must have been jewish in a previous life

My sister lent me The Jewish Daughter Diaries, not because we are Jewish, but because my mother so closely resembles the women in these essays. My mother was raised Roman Catholic by Polish-American parents, there is a lot of overlap in the parenting styles of RC Poles and Jewish mothers. Mostly guilt as a second language and a biological need to feed those who enter her house. And while my mother never meddled in my love life she has volunteered to call/ pay a visit […]

Lady, you’re Cheryl Tunt on Archer and Kitty on Arrested Development

July 1, 2014 by Malin 2 Comments

Having seen a number of other Cannonballers already reviewing this one, I got curious, and it made for a nice break in between all the fiction I normally read. As a fan of romantic comedies, in many of which she has played a supporting character, not to mention my love of Arrested Development and Archer, I know exactly what I know Judy Greer from. I did have to look up her complete filmography on Wikipedia, though (not IMDB, no matter how many times they get shout-outs in Greer’s […]

Zirza on A Gothic Classic for a ReasonIt's one of those wish-you-could-read-it-again-for-the-first-time books. I loved it.
Emmalita on “It came to something when you found yourself hoping that the footsteps you heard were ghosts.”I loved the ending! I don’t think it’s been out long enough to talk about why though.
Dixie on Track Her Down by Melinda LeighI am just starting Track Her Down and I have read them all in order till now and thought I...
Roland of Gilead on How can you give us the gift of a crazy character named Rando Thoughtful and then just as suddenly take that gift away? We need to talk, Uncle Stevie.I came across this randomly years after it was written because I was searching "Random Thoughtful. But I have the...
Emmalita on “Only you, Em, would refer to heartbreak as a distraction. I think I would have a more sympathetic response if I asked to marry a bookcase.”Oh my goodness, Gallifrey was beautiful. I’m sure her mittens were gloriously murdery.
